i doubt it. apple maps is now a flop. unless they cure cancer between now and the end of the year, there's nothing new down the pipe. holiday sales: expected. if i was in your position i'd cash out.

Yep - I was advised the same thing at $100, $250, and $500...company is too strong financially with too loyal of a following. Even at $667, the stock is still cheap based on trailing EPS.

Besides, they still have a few tricks up their sleeve for future gadgets...and a shit load of cash. A map fix is really a microscopic issue when compared to the overall success of the phone itself. WAZE is an excellent navigator (for free) until then.

I had the opportunity to acquire 750 AAPL shares in 2002 @ $15.00 per share....still own every share.

When the supply chain is situated, shares will hit $800 by Christmas...Then it's time to sell....

Thats awesome congrats. But you should be taking some off the table slowly on the way up. Why sell all at $800? What if it goes to $1,000? What if it never hits $800? No one ever got hurt taking a profit. I tend to be more conservative and think of it this way...if I sold some now with a large profit and then shares went up a lot I would be upset but oh well, I still profited. But if I hung on and shares plummeted I would be irate and kick myself.

Im a long time AAPL shareholder too (though not nearly as many shares as you!). Try not to get greedy because as they say...hogs get slaughtered.

^ agree. you're looking at half a million dollars. not sure what else you have, but that's a house/condo in most areas. apple's lost a good $50/share in the past 2 weeks, that's a new car right there.

don't be greedy

me: i'm conservative. main home is paid for, got a vacation home on a fixed mortgage (i can afford to lose it, hopefully i won't). and then a 3300 sq ft estate w/ pool/spa to show off a little (also paid for). dirt baby.

With all the hype of iPad mini... Apple shares will surpass 750 and perhaps hit 800 by years end. I agree with ASBSECU E93. But i wouldn't sell everything at 800. I'd sell 50% at around $750 or christmas (whichever occured first). I'd then sit on the cash. The good thing about AAPL now is they are a dividend stock. I'm still hopeful for a split in the 10/1 range. This will bring the pps down below $100 and perhaps get them on the DOW.

It was actually a better about business 10 yrs ago when it was American owned. Japanese have been taking advantage of the franchisees... But I do not own the one in Milltown. I have one each in Bergen and Passaic County and the others in Maryland.

Apple won't come down. Maps is a very small issue. I welcomed 2009 by buying 125 shares @85 something. Not greedy but will wait till welcoming 2013.

AAPL took a beating today! My plan is to persevere until March of '13 and cash out my shares. All these snags with the iPhone 5 (maps, camera) wont dent the fourth quarter earnings report and by that time AAPL could be around $800 per share.

Yep. Did take a beating today! But once the 4th quarter is released, nothing will stop apple to go over $800. I plan on waiting until Feb also. Good luck to us! lol.

ahh got it. So, is there anything good that works for prevention of further hair loss?

I forgot to answer the main thread topic... I do brain surgery research at the Cleveland Clinic.

Well, Finasteride 1mg, commercially known as propecia, is effective at slowing the loss, you could talk to your physician about getting a prescription for that. It's a good place to start. There are a few other options that we carry as well. If you need more info, send me a PM.

I am currently taking propecia and for me it works great! Anyone looking for a product for this situation I would recommend propecia

Oh and I own a home remodeling company in NJ but do work all through out the tri-state ... Anyone ever need anything I can get you the best prices for any job
